Traditionally, optimizing compilers apply source to source transformations. This technical report contains the proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Language, Compiler, and Tool Support for Real-Time Systems, held in conjunction with PLDI '94 (ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation) and LFP '94 (Lisp and Functional Progamming). This workshop explores the interface between two dynamic areas of computer science and engineering: programming languages and real-time systems. Directions in both fundamental and applied research in real-time computing have been changing over the last several years, in response to the need for large, flexible, powerful, and robust systems. There is a growing perception that previous approaches have been pitched at inappropriate levels for these new applications: neither low-level coding without high-level design, nor high-level specification/verification without guarantees on translation quality are satisfactory for large complex systems. Several researchers in real-time systems see language and compiler techniques as a major part of the solution; at the same time, language researchers are beginning to explore real-time applications and environments. While hard temporal constraints complicate the adaptation, the entire range of language techniques can be brought to bear on real-time systems.
